Great set of photos Paul. Fantastic weather and a big bag. Just doesn't get better than that. Awesome. Well done Woodsy reaching the ton in such a dramatic style :D

Brilliant photos and it sounds like a great day out -even though pretty long :shock: But really good effort...and I agree with mrssanta...I would have camped somewhere at the end of the day :D :D

Great photos and a helluva long day 8)

When I saw the title I expected an overnight trip, until I remembered your definition of wild camping from a few posts back :wink:

Enjoyed seeing the area around the south end of Loch Treig again :)

Bit of an epic, tired just reading about it. Some cracking images, especially those at sunset of breathtaking views.

Well done on Woodsy's ton.

That was an amazing day's walk, I felt worn out reading about it but such an exciting area to be in. The nearest I've got to it is on the train last year going up to Fort William :lol:

Congratulations to Woodsy on the 100 :clap:

Paul, the views in your photos are spectacular, great to be able to see them :thumbup:

Wonderful stuff dooter :clap: You definitely got the weather for it (it's snowing outside my house as I type so we might be waiting a while for more of the same). I'm hoping to get some long (and probably punishing) hikes in this summer - this and some of your other walk reports will come in handy. Having gone Munro bagging 4 days in a row and still been able to walk afterwards recently I think it shouldn't be too bad :shock: 8)

Photos 6, 12, 16 and all the ones from Stob coire Sgriodain are braw! :D :thumbup:

Great stuff again Dootsyboy and well done to Woodsyboy for the ton. I was up the two Stobs and Friday and was saying to Jimmy i was wondering why no-one ever did a circuit of the four and here's you went one better and did the five, superhuman stuff :D

Was thinking the same, its a fab route...views south end of Loch treig awesome. We (i) added the 5th to get Woodsy to 100.

Agree, camping at South loch treig would be fantastic...i had to get back to Glasgow though as was at comedy festival next day.

I have to do these Munros myself, haven't climbed anything in this area so far. Just... maybe not all in one day...
Looks like on inland hills, the high summits still hold some snow. We were in Assynt again on Saturday, no snow left whatsoever, weather was good enough to have a picnic on the summit of Cul Mor :lol: :lol:
The snow has returned!! Aye your very lucky being up in Assynt again.
